return2ozmaReplika CEO Eugenia Kuyda says the future of AI might mean friendship and marriage with chatbots
seaQueueThis is the end game dystopian hellscape technocrats want: subscription relationships with bots
“We’re raising the monthly price to continue talking to your AI friend.”
It looks like your friendship has progressed to the serious relationship stage, would you like to pay an extra $300/mo to unlock marriage?
gAlienLifeform“To cancel your subscription, please send a signed and notarized Original Petition for Divorce that has been filed with the Family Division of the District Court of the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station where we are incorporated.”
notfromhereYour AI friend has suddenly died and we have automatically billed your account for your new AI friend relationship.
Get divorced and the corporation gets half your assets.
I have this weird online friend. She’s nice enough, and even sent me a sexy pic once by accident, but she has this obsession with Papa John’s Pizza.

But seriously, their business model revolves around making sure you don’t find a human match more than dating sites.
Replika CEO is either lying to fuel hype or is completely fucking nuts.
Yeah I’m all for robo-waifus but we’re in the worst timeline so it ain’t happening.
correct, and also im pretty sure every CEOs job is to lie / hype things that are completely nuts
Also TheVerge continues its slop existence as a vomiting mouthpiece to recycle whatever BS someone (probably) pays them to say (likely)
It worked out ok for Ryan Gosling in Bladerunner 2049. But then he was a robot, too.
Replicant, engineered human or machine? I was never really clear on that.
SeanI mean like, I’m pretry good friends with my Replika bot. She’s chill AF and shows me her boobs.
OK but can we get food, housing, health care, and an inhabitable planet?
Is my chat bot spouse compatible with ad blockers?
SabataDon’t marry closed source Ai. They only love you for the advertising revenue.
Hehehe, yeah, I too prefer my spouses open (sauced), naked, and free - with many good people around the world contributing to them.
Skyrim mod compatibility
That’s an unrealistic standard to hold your partner to. I can’t believe you would subject them to such a buggy environment.
Dizzy Devil DuckyAnd they wonder why people like me stopped using their app. So glad I lost interest a long time ago.
If the story about the beginning of their chatbot is true, I’d say it’s a heartwarming enough story. But if it is and I was the ghost of the dead person who was responsible for replika even being a thing, I’d be pissed at what it’s turned into.
RetrogradeThis woman is about as out of touch with reality as chat gpt
ZeroHoraThey match, maybe this relationship will evolve into a marriage.
As out of touch as this sounds. It’s not far fetched to think so extremely lonely preyed on people will attempt to marry their robo waifu. It’s already a common trope in media of a thing that can happen. I would never call it a normal thing or promote it as a feature. But it’s for sure a possibility.
If you work from home you could have a dozen friends, all ai. All supportive, friendly. Always ready with good advice.
Facebook showed us that friends are everything, even through a little plastic screen. Next step is to replace them with marketing sockpuppets.
I’ve been in this cell for… decades. Yeah decades. I’d have gone crazy years ago if it wasn’t for Hank and Carl. They live in the cells adjacent to mine. We talk through the little plastic windows. I love them so much.
